Feedback: Dawntrail MSQ dungeon difficulty

I mean I'm not wrong. You've abandoned the argument in favor of it.

More insults seasoned with insinuations of lack of understanding.

I'm not a good target for 'oh yeah?! when's the last time you...' I run everything but Savage/Ultimates and with regularity.

Playing your own game does not in fact make you the target consumer. It's like me running a restaurant and eating there for a meal most days when I get a complaint that things are too spicy. Then a customer that likes it says the commenter should be quiet because they also like the spice and I'm also eating it so it's okay.

/sigh.... Truncating all quotes due to char limit

Where have I insulted you, exactly?

I'm not exactly sure what your point is here... or how this is relevant in the slightest, but cool?

This is a poor analogy, as a food order is typically tailored to the person making the order, where as that's simply not feasible for game development. Tailoring content to order in an MMO would exponentially multiple the necessary labor. You make the content apply to the target audience. Here's the kicker, ok? FFXIV is chock full of content for quite literally any skill level, period. There's far more casual content in this game than any other MMO. On top of that, the entirety of the story of the game is easy. The required skill level to complete the story start to finish is what most players would consider bare minimum. It's a very low bar. Couple all of this with the fact that there are quite literally no stakes in FFXIV for anything outside of Eureka, crafting, and Deep Dungeons, and you have a huge game that caters to the casual. Again, no RPG in history lets the player skirt by without some form of improvement, and even then, FFXIV's ask in that regard is miniscule. The game is fine. Expecting players to show improvement over the span of a game is fine. It's not a new concept, and countless beloved games in the past, including every single title in this game's own series, have done it. Telling someone "Hey, try again, do better" is not the same energy as "git gud scrub". Rather than white knighting for these players, why not spend your energy trying to help them improve their gameplay? Who doesn't enjoy something even more when they can witness themselves improving at it? I imagine that you've probably attempted that and gotten the typical "<insertYOUDON'TPAYMYSUBresponsehere>".

Doesn't prevent the 3000 char limit.
